Kodiak Deer Population

Well I found out my moose and caribou hunt might get cancelled because the river I planned on floating might be flooded out. So I am still crossing my fingers for better conditions to occur, but in the meantime I am thinking of a back up plan for meat. The first thing that crossed my mind was a mid-November Blacktail Deer hunt on Kodiak. I was curious how the population held up over the winter. I have heard the island sometimes experiences population crashes. It seems like I recall hearing rumors of a population crash last winter due to excessive snowfall. Anyone know if it did indeed happen or is the population still doing fine? Thanks and rep points to anyone with good info.

Hey Thanks for the advice and the update Roland. Do you know how the population fared through the winter? I'd give you some rep points but I already gave you some and it won't let me give you any more yet.

Just got back from hunting goats on Kodiak. Didn't see a single deer, fresh crap or even a track. The pilot of the air charter said there aren't very many deer remaining unless you travel down to the south end. Oh, by the way....we harvested 2 goats.
